Top Digital Marketing Agencies in Chicago

Over the past year we have tried almost every sales and marketing tactic you could imagine. We have spent a sizable portion of our budget on traditional marketing tactics including billboards, direct mail, newspaper ads, radio ads and much more with very little to show for it. Beyond that we have used digital advertising with some results, but not to degree we were hoping for. So we turned to Aalap and 1o8 to see what his recommendations would be. I am blown away with the amount of quality work Aalap and his team have been able to do for us in such a short amount of time. If you're like me, you have a laundry list of "wouldn't it be great if we could" items that you know you should be doing but just don't have the time, resources, or exact expertise to get accomplished. This is where 1o8's strategy chops come in to play as they help diagnose your issues, prioritize what needs to be done first, and then have the know-how to implement the changes. (While also handling every curve-ball request that naturally comes with working with a start-up). I have yet to come up with a question or issue we have been having with our website, seo, digital marketing, analtyics, or anything else that they have not been able to quickly handle. During this time we have completely revamped our Google analytics tracking and goals so we can see what marketing efforts are working, a seven page dashboard to easily see these results to make better and faster assessments of our efforts, an seo keyword audit and effective seo strategy implementation, an on-page seo strategy for our website, an overhaul of our SEM and Google ads, creation of Facebook campaigns customized to our audience on an individual level, re-marketing campaign strategy for both Facebook and Google ads. The results speak for themselves. Almost 100% of our leads are coming from digital tactics, we have drastically increased the volume of leads, and we are able to see exactly which sources those leads are coming from so we can allocate more resources to the better performing channels. Not to mention we are now top of page for our most needed google searches. As a company we are now looking to drastically reconfigure our budget based on this success and will be considerably reducing our spend on traditional efforts. Working with Aalap and his team is a pleasure. They are quick to respond to questions and truly feel like an extension of our marketing team. Each week I am asked if there are any hot projects that need addressing and we have a slack channel that allows us to be in constant contact if I should have any immediate needs. They are always prepared for our bi-weekly meetings with new insights and always bringing new ideas to the table. I could not recommend 1o8 more highly. They have made my job much easier and allow the marketing team to go to executive meetings with confidence in our direction and the results we are seeing.

Manuel and his team at RLC Media are professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable. They have always been willing to go above and beyond to help us increase new business through online promotion and marketing. RLC also build our website to be everything we knew it could be but lacked the expertise to get it there ourselves. We can’t recommend RLC enough.

Working with Full-Scale SEO was an eye-opening experience. Chris is on the razor's edge of digital marketing. His practical knowledge of current trends vastly improved the click-through rate of my Google Ads campaigns.

V2M2 is a visionary partner in helping your organization drive revenue and communicating with your stakeholders. Franklin and the team brought a breathe of fresh air to our marketing and was responsible for helping drive the largest fundraiser in our organization's history. His leadership permeates the organizations culture and drives innovation. They created genuine relationships to understand our business and executed a strong external relations strategy that drove revenue and brand awareness. V2M2 uses tried and true strategies leveraged by a true sense of responsibility and leadership for their customers. I have always been impressed by their professionalism and their ability to communicate in a way that energizes and inspires others.

Results have been strong, on budget and on time. I will be doing business again with Blue Fountain Media.

OneIMS has done excellent work for my company. They've rolled up their sleeves to research opportunities, come up with creative solutions, and stayed deeply engaged from the moment work began. I look forward to working with OneIMS in the future and recommend them very highly.

Allevi8 Marketing and their team did a fantastic job with all our Digital Marketing needs! Patrick was quick to respond and provided great results at a very competitive price! I will definitely continue to use them.

Alpha Efficiency did great work, they finished their work promptly, and they were timely and responsive to feedback during all stages of the project. I would definitely work with them again.

I highly recommend Digital Authority Partners. I hired them when I was Director of Marketing at a large digital agency in California. The content they produced was amazing, and the results we got from it were simply amazing. The entire team was happy with the work that they did for us and would recommend them for anyone looking to build a digital brand. DAP is the company to hire, hands down.

I had a highly positive experience working with the Perfect Search team. Our project had a tight timeline, but they ran everything so smoothly that we never felt rushed or panicked. They quickly understood our brand messaging and target audience, offering strategic pivots that yielded strong campaign results. After running an initial campaign, we have now signed on to work with them for another year.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ra to build my website, and I can't express enough how thrilled I am with the results. From concept to execution, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to delivering a product that exceeded my expectations. Right from our initial consultation, the team at LLT GROUP demonstrated a deep understanding of my vision and goals for the website. They took the time to listen attentively, asking insightful questions to ensure they grasped the nuances of my brand and its unique identity. This level of engagement instilled confidence in their ability to translate my ideas into a digital format effectively. The design phase was a true collaboration, with the team presenting a range of creative concepts that perfectly captured the essence of my brand. Their attention to detail, combined with a keen eye for aesthetics, resulted in a visually stunning website that not only met but surpassed industry standards. The user interface is intuitive and engaging, providing visitors with a seamless and enjoyable experience. One of the standout features of LLT GROUP is their commitment to transparency and communication. Throughout the development process, I was kept informed about milestones, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly. The team's dedication to client satisfaction was evident in every interaction, creating a positive and stress-free experience. What sets LLT GROUP apart is not just their technical prowess but also their unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. The website was delivered on time, and the post-launch support has been exceptional. Any minor tweaks or adjustments were handled promptly, showcasing their commitment to ensuring the long-term success of their projects. In conclusion, working with Calvin and his team has been a game-changer for my online presence. Their expertise, creativity, and commitment to client satisfaction make them a standout choice for anyone looking to bring their digital vision to life. I wholeheartedly recommend LLT GROUP to anyone seeking a top-notch web development partner. They don't just build websites; they craft digital experiences that leave a lasting impression.

to visual storytelling and even broadcast commercials. We have tapped Explore Media several times for commercial creation, but one of our favorite collaborations was an incredible bonus. The Explore Media team was working with one of our influencer families, telling the story of how their RV enhances their family life and adventure. The piece, shot in gorgeous Acadia National Park, was so inspiring, we had the team turn it into a broadcast television spot. Explore is a go to for our storytelling. Their work is always a great value because their quality is evident and they listen to the goals and dreams of the client. As a brand, we frequently work with families and children. We have heard from so many of our clients that the Explore Media team goes out of the way to be friendly to everyone, but especially the youngest talent. Explore Media goes above and beyond to capture the true spirit and personalities of even the smallest kids. We will continue working with the Explore Media team because they have taken the time to really study and learn our messaging and brand. Each finished project exceeds our expectations both in storytelling and visuals. I would recommend them to any other brand looking to get broadcast quality, professional work, without taking a major hit to the budget.

Jason is very knowledgeable about website designs. I am very impressed with what he has created for our pizza restaurant. It is user friendly and highlights our menu items. His recommendations have increased our social media views as well. Highly satisfied with his professionalism.

It is great to have Chicago Tech Solution working on-site to videotape our events. Our previous vendor worked remotely, so the in-person aspect of our partnership with Chicago Tech Solution is a significant improvement. As per the specified requirements, Chicago Tech Solution has developed our website and provides us with marketing services. Chicago Tech Solution's team develops and runs social media marketing campaigns on Google, Facebook, and Instagram as part of their marketing services. They also send in a team of photographers to photograph and videotape events. It's grateful to have them on board. We highly recommend Chicago Tech Solution for full pledge Digital Marketing Services.

Engaging with Ava Digital Agency has been one of the best decisions for my company, Fuel Me. Their multifaceted expertise in marketing - from pioneering SEO techniques to creating a visually stunning and functional website, and executing compelling social media campaigns - our brand has been propelled to new heights. Vik and his team aren't just top-tier marketers; they are fantastic individuals. They prioritize collaboration and genuinely care about our success. It's rare to find a team that marries expertise with such personal investment. For those in search of a marketing ally who brings both professional acumen and a human touch to the table, I cannot recommend Ava Digital Agency enough.

The team there is truly incredible. Having worked for and with various agencies over the years, I can honestly say that BFO is at the very top when it comes to knowledge, service, communication, and results. They are partners, not just vendors. They are bright, easy to work with, and are effective at plugging into an existing marketing plan vs. activating in a silo. I would recommend them to any client who has a good strategic vision and needs a reliable partner to enhance the existing plan and execute meticulously.

I’m delighted with the work produced by GLF. I love our website; the content is informative and well-written; at this point, I don’t even edit it anymore because they’ve done a great job of picking up my voice. Even though our site is only five months old, and Google doesn’t recognize newer sites, we’ve seen some traffic, and our engagement is growing quickly. We’ve received eight inquiries since launching the new site and retained two before we even started any PPC efforts. I expected to see promising results after six months in collaboration with PPC efforts, so the volume we’ve seen so far has exceeded our expectations.

We have had a fantastic experience working with Elaine and her team.

I consider Razzmic Ventures more than our social media advertising and growth marketing provider. They are a true partner. From start to finish, the Razzmic Ventures team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly creative. They developed several effective omnichannel marketing campaigns that not only helped us generate leads but also boosted our revenue. The entire team went above and beyond, and their technical expertise played a key role in driving our business forward. Razzmic Ventures really exceeded our expectations, and we continue working with their team for all our social media and growth marketing needs.

Marik and his colleagues were excellent with getting my logo designed and looking professional. I look forward to doing a lot more business with this company, you can’t go wrong using this company.

Brent and his team have been amazing to work with. They built my brand, my website, filmed videos, managed Google Ads, and so much more. They helped me realize my vision to be private practice focused on helping anxious and angry children in the Chicagoland area. I now have a team of 8 child therapists.

Me, my partner and our team were jaw dropping on how Hyperlocal run this project. Everything was on time, superb communication with all team members and primarly by the effectiveness of their marketing.

We wanted to reach a specific audience online and that's when we approached ebiz. They quickly put together a plan that included SEO, Google and FB Ads and Social media management. We started getting results almost immediately due to the paid ads. SEO took time and the leads started coming in slowly. Based on their recommendation, we then reduced spend on PPC and concentrated on Social and SEO and review management. Their team also made several videos which helped us get our product launched in record time and allowed us to stand out from competition. As of today, our sales are up almost twice as much as last year and 4 times from the launch year which was year before last. Overall great experience as they see you as a partner and not as another client.
